It’s a slow-paced, mostly sad story that works because it
is extremely real.You are, soon, forgiving
of the pace as you come to realize that life moves slowly, especially when one
is confronted by events being experienced by the two principals played by Chastain
and McAvoy.

They are a couple, who has lost their infant son and go
their separate ways in an attempt to deal with it.However, neither of their ways is in any way
successful.

To tell you any more would be a disservice to the
film.Just know it is intense, deeply
moving and, ultimately, very loving.

I give The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby a
4 out of 5, but Jessica Chastain gets a 4+.

About Me

Brian Porzak: I am a cinephile who likes to view films with a live audience. My taste runs the gamut, including indies, studio films, foreign films and most all genres. Because I see so many films, friends often ask me what to see. So, I thought I'd blog about what is worth seeing or not. As a writer/filmmaker myself, I hope to give a more uplifting perspective than the typical critic. Filmmaking is tremendously difficult. Just because some problems might exist in a particular work does not, necessarily, destroy its enjoyability and I think that is necessary to point out to would-be viewers.
